Today, we made predictions(hypothesis) on the start of the new book,”The boy in striped pyjamas.” We predicted on what we would find in the plot in later lessons and work together reading through it. We looked at three pieces of evidence- the two boys with only half of their face seen, the dirty pyjamas and the blurb at the back of the book. I have drawn to the conclusion that there is a nine year old boy called Bruno whom follows a journey from his home to the later concentration camp or prison. I think he is Jewish which is associated to the world war 2 and how they were judged.There were specific questions that we had to answer in order to gather up our evidence and make a prediction. There are many important questions I have picked out and answered.

Q:Why do you think we have not been allowed to see his whole face?

A:We have not been allowed to see his whole face to remain secret and keep it as a mystery. Also it makes the reader engage within the questions and get them inquisitive to move and go on reading the story.

Q:Barbed wire.Why?

A:The barbed wire is to show that someone might have probably smuggled it. Also to show that life in concentration camp is torture and brutal.Secondly, it might show what the fence is like.
